Ok so a quick setup description:
I'm running an AC68U router to which I have hooked up a Buffalo Linkstation NAS via ethernet, along with a few wireless N clients including two 2009 Macbook Pros.
So I bought this shiny new AC68U not too long ago plugged it in and out of the box was happy to see speeds of around 26 MB/sec when transferring files from my NAS. I figure on an N network, speeds of 200 Mbit/sec is pretty good. Once everything was setup with firmwares updated on all devices I suddenly top out at 13-15 MB/sec. I've been googling this one for days. I've tried different firmwares including the latest and greatest from dd-wrt hoping to see improvement to no avail. I even contacted ASUS with the issue. They responded telling me to return the router for an exchange. Which I did. The new router showed up and I'm getting the same issue.
When hard wired to the router I easily get over 60 MB/sec so I know the switch is working fine. Another curious note. If I transfer large file from multpile sources, ei.. 1 transfer from the web, 1 transfer from the NAS, I noticed a combine transfer rate of 25 MB/sec from both transfers. This tells me the wireless connection is certainly capable. But off a single file transfer it seams to top out at 15. I have QoS disabled so no prioritizing of bandwidth. Am I missing something here?
How can I open up the pipe on my file sharing? I would very much appreciate any help I can get.
